In a region known for its creeks, Carolina Bays, and black water swamps, boardwalks are abundant. Explorers can reach parts of a forest otherwise inaccessible and immerse themselves in the natural world that makes eastern South Carolina so alluring. Many of the region’s Certified Sites have boardwalks.

Williamson Park’s 4 boardwalks in Darlington zig zag back and forth across Swift Creek for a great 1-2 mile walk.

Woods Bay State Natural Area in Olanta (lower Florence County) helps you see an unadulterated Carolina Bay, one of the region’s most distinctive geologic features. You might see an alligator or two, too.

For a more urban experience on a boardwalk, try theMyrtle Beach Boardwalk, part of the East Coast Greenway, a 2,000 mile walking trail on the eastern seaboard.
